As a survivor of intimate partner violence, I prefer the use of the term survivor over victim. The term victim carries a very negative connotation that I feel draws sympathy rather than support. A survivor has overcome a difficult situation and has walked away with strength. Intimate partner violence is used to cover all forms of violence that is inflicted on a person in an intimate or personal relationship to gain control over another (Crawford, Project Radar, 2018). In this paper, I will…

The book of Genesis is brimming with tales of tricksters and deceit, yet this theme appears, at first glance, to be a contradiction to the morality lessons for which the Bible is known. However, when one examines the stories of Abraham and Tamar, a principle becomes evident: trickery is often the only weapon available to the weak. In Genesis 12:10-13, Abraham is entering Egypt when he decides to trick Pharaoh by claiming his wife Sarah is merely his sister. In this situation, Pharaoh and…

This past November boasted the first Barbie commercial to feature a boy, and that ad isn’t even going to air on television. Fifty-six years since Barbie made her debut and this whole time ads didn’t feature boys playing with her. The whole world seems to be broken up into a divide between male and female, the pink and blue. The romantic languages of French, Italian, and Spanish give all of their words a gender. That divide is called the gender binary. The concept of the gender binary cannot be…

Sibbern and Møller were both philosophers who also wrote fiction. The latter in particular had a great influence on Kierkegaard's philosophico-literary development. Martensen also had a profound effect on Kierkegaard, but largely in a negative manner. Martensen was a champion of Hegelianism, and when he became Bishop Primate of the Danish People's Church, Kierkegaard published a vitriolic attack on Martensen's theological views. Kierkegaard's brother Peter, on the other hand, was an adherent of…

My soccer team was together for a very long time and we were all great friends. As we kept getting older we needed more girls to have enough to play and they always fit right in with us and got to know us very well. That changed this fall when the team split. None of us were happy, at least six or seven girls quit playing soccer and I was one of them. A few girls went to different clubs but the rest went to CBSC ( Council Bluffs Soccer Club) but I didn’t because I’m not a big fan of soccer…

Growth Mindset We all remember the time when we are little kids and our parents told us to shoot for the moon. For me the moon was to be a doctor. As I got old I realized a doctor was not for me. However, I knew no matter what I wanted to be in the medical field. During middle school I jumped around on what I wanted to be but still in the medical field. Around 9th grade in decide I want to be a nurse. That is when I started my plan for the rest of my high school experience. My long-term is to be…

Adderall is a very dangerous drug with underestimated harm. Users do not know the dangers they are associating themselves with while taking these stimulants. Adderall has some very serious side effects and misusing this drug can cause cardiovascular problems and even lead to death, Chen asserts: “While the number of prescriptions for the stimulant Adderall has remained unchanged among young adults, misuse and emergency room visits related to the drug have risen dramatically” (1). Emergency room…

Melody- There's this basic riff repetition being played. As simple as it may be, there is melodic contour which takes shape when the direction changes. This song uses disjunct motion, the intervals change quite a bit. A lot of the singing seems to be staccato, adding to the long pauses. There's also legato that's connecting the song. Harmony- There is no vocal harmony, when he continues the singing, for a breath of time, it adds an echoing effect. The chords are played in a pentatonic format.…
